About
a-ha’s fourth album, East Of The Sun West Of The Moon (released in 1990), marked a departure from their previous album. Acoustic guitars were added into the mix, and the piano replaced the keyboard/synthesizer of previous album. The album also features the first non-Morten lead vocal, by Magne F on The Way We Talk. Steven McDonald, AllMusic Guide: “This is a nicely crafted collection of song, performed and sung beautifully, with lots of echoes and suggestions tucked into the music. While not an album one can discuss at length, it’s an album that’s a pleasure to listen to…” If you listen carefully to the music in the verses in Cold River, you will notice a similarity to the song Train of Thought. And also Rolling Thunder uses a similar rain track and a very similar drum beat as Crying In the Rain. .
